Abstract (en)

A coin hopper is capable of simultaneously realizing high reliability and long lifetime at a low cost while accomplishing downsizing at a level equal to or higher than the prior art. A rotating disk, an electric motor, and a rotating disk driving mechanism for driving the disk by rotation of an output shaft of the motor are provided. The driving mechanism includes a planetary gear mechanism for generating an output by decelerating the rotation of the output shaft at a first reduction ratio, and a first gear train for transmitting the output of the planetary gear mechanism to the disk after decelerating the output of the planetary gear mechanism at a second reduction ratio. The output shaft and the rotation axis of the disk are not placed coaxially. The output shaft, the rotation axis of the disk, and the rotation axis of each gear of the first gear train are extended approximately parallel to each other.
